Overview

Ruathym lies far north of the Moonshae Isles. It is rocky and largely barren, with narrow coves, fjords and inlets, green hills and forested purple mountains, and only a few villages along the coast.

As the first home of the Northlanders, its people believe they should be regarded as rulers of all Northlanders. See also the page on Ruathym the place.
